Opel was long General Motors' strongest marque in [[Japan]], with sales peaking at 38,000 in 1996. However, the brand was withdrawn from the Japanese market in December 2006, with just 1,800 sales there in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|date=2006-05-11|title=Opel pulls out of Japanese market|url=https://europe.autonews.com/article/20060515/ANE/60511025/opel-pulls-out-of-japanese-market|access-date=2021-11-21|website=Automotive News Europe}}</ref> Since then, Opel has not sold any cars or SUVs in Japan.

====Singapore====
A wide range of Opel models are exported to Singapore.

====Malaysia====
Opel was marketed in [[Malaysia]] beginning from the 1970s, and early models exported were Kadett, [[Opel Gemini|Gemini]], and [[Opel Manta|Manta]]. Opel had moderate sales from the 1980s until the early 2000s, when Malaysian car buyers favoured Japanese and Korean brand cars such as [[Toyota]], [[Honda]], [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] ([[Inokom]]) and [[Kia]] ([[Naza]]), which offered more competitive prices. Sales of Opel cars in Malaysia were dropped then, as Opel's prices were slightly higher than the same-segment Japanese, Korean, and local [[Proton Holdings|Proton]] and [[Perodua]] cars, and they were hard to maintain, had bad aftersales services, and spare parts were not readily available.

Opel was withdrawn from Malaysian market in 2003, and the last models sold were the Zafira, Astra, and Vectra, and the rebadged [[Isuzu MU]] as the Frontera, later replaced by Chevrolet.

==== India ====
Opel India Pvt Ltd (OIPL) was founded in 1996 and gave the average Indian car buyers their first choice of (somewhat) affordable German engineering with the Astra sedan. Opel was withdrawn from the Indian market in 2006, replaced by Chevrolet.

==== Indonesia ====
Since 1938, the country has been producing Opels in a General Motors-owned plant since 1938. The plant was nationalized in 1957. In 1995, General Motors invested a new manufacturing plant in Indonesia, producing the Opel Astra (as Opel Optima), Opel Vectra, and [[Chevrolet S-10 Blazer|Chevrolet Blazer]] (as Opel Blazer).<ref>{{cite web|last=GridOto.com|title=Ini Alasan Blazer Pertama Dipasarkan di Indonesia Pakai Nama Opel - GridOto.com|url=https://jip.gridoto.com/read/261692363/ini-alasan-blazer-pertama-dipasarkan-di-indonesia-pakai-nama-opel|access-date=2020-10-24|website=jip.gridoto.com|language=id}}</ref> The latter was proved a sales success in the country.<ref>{{cite web|last=Indonesia|first=C.

====Thailand====
Since the 1970s, Opel cars were imported along with [[Holden]] cars by Universal Motors Thailand and Asoke Motors. Among the models imported were the [[Opel Rekord]], [[Holden Torana]], and the [[Opel Olympia]]. They were replaced by Phranakorn Yontrakarn (PNA) as the exclusive distributor of Opel cars in Thailand in the mid-1980s. PNA imported the [[Opel Kadett|Kadett]], [[Opel Astra|Astra]], [[Opel Vectra|Vectra]], [[Opel Omega|Omega]], and the [[Opel Calibra|Calibra]] to Thailand. The [[Opel Corsa#Corsa B (S93; 1993)|Corsa B]] was one of the more popular Opel models sold by PNA in the 1990s. In the mid to late 1990s, [[General Motors Thailand]] took over from PNA in the overseeing of sales and distribution of Opel cars in the country, with plans to build an assembly plant in [[Rayong province|Rayong]] to manufacture the [[Opel Zafira|Zafira]] for the domestic and export markets. However, due to the onset of the [[1997 Asian financial crisis|Asian financial crisis]], the Opel brand was phased out from the Thai market in 2000 and was replaced by [[Chevrolet]]. The [[Opel Zafira#Zafira A (1999)|Zafira A]], by then rebadged as a Chevrolet, went on sale in May 2000, to considerable success.

====Philippines====
Opel was one of the most popular non-Japanese car brands in the country during the 1970s and the 1980s alongside Ford, but left the Filipino market in 1985 as a result of the economic crisis at that time. GM Philippines returned with the Opel brand in 1997, and started selling the [[Opel Vectra|Vectra]], [[Opel Omega|Omega]] and later the [[Opel Tigra|Tigra]] and [[Opel Astra|Astra]]. Sales were good years after its introduction but Opel still struggled as Japanese manufacturers dominated the local automobile market. GM Philippines withdrew the brand by 2004–2005 due to poor sales. The last cars sold by Opel in the country before leaving the Philippine market were the Astra and the [[Opel Zafira|Zafira A]] (Which was being sold under the Chevrolet brand). The Opel brand was later replaced by Chevrolet's lineup.

====Taiwan====
In the 1980s, Kadett E and Omega A were imported to the Taiwanese market but the dealers imported base models and modified them with unstable quality. The CAC company became the sole import agent of Opel in Taiwan and the models were later manufacturing and sold the Astra F and Vectra B in the market. However, CAC went bankrupt in the late 1990s and stopped manufacturing Opel cars. GM Taiwan and then Yulon GM, a joint venture between Yulong and General Motors, kept importing and selling Astra G/H, Corsa B/C, Omega B, and Zafira A/B in Taiwan until 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=GM quits Taiwan Yulong GM on cash crunch auto and parts, directory, query system, automotive standards, auto maker, auto supplier, auto manufacturer, auto and parts standards, auto information|url=http://www.wheelon.net/news/newslast_6698.html|access-date=2020-07-28|website=www.wheelon.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=OPEL 全車系提供ESP選擇|url=http://www.auto-online.com.tw/news/10805|access-date=2020-07-28|website=汽車線上情報 Auto-Online|language=zh-tw}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=110週年車聚圓滿落幕，Opel新一代Corsa首度在台曝光|url=https://news.u-car.com.tw/article/10623|access-date=2020-07-28|website=U-CAR.com.tw}}</ref> In 2022, Master Win Group relaunched Opel in the Taiwanese market.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://autos.udn.com/autos/story/7825/6393489|title=Opel汽車確認年底重返台灣市場！Master Win集團成為總代理|date=16 June 2022|website=發燒車訊}}</ref>
